Jamie arrived home this morning and after a cup of tea and a chat the boys and I did lots of packing for our holiday. Marjory and the children popped round for a coffee in the afternoon, they were telling us about their holiday in Florida where they had a great time.
I planned a special family evening starting with a celebration dinner for the five of us all being together; lovely steaks with baked potatoes, peas and stuffed mushrooms. This went down very well with James and the boys. Then we all sat down to watch "Chariots of Fire", which the boys have never seen. I chose this film because it is topical with the Olympics coming up and I thought that we would all enjoy it. How wrong I was. By half an hour into the film Alasdair had disappeared to take a phone call that lasted for more than an hour. Jamie half watched the film while using his iPad and texting on his phone. James started poking David and Jack with a stick for some reason and then fell asleep. Only David watched the film properly with me. Sometimes my ideas just don't go according to plan! I did enjoy the film though!
